BABEL with Colm Tóibín

Last night we kicked off the BABEL season with none other than Brooklyn and Long Island author Colm Tóibín. Tóibín dazzled the audience with his humor, insight, and beautiful storytelling—a perfect start to the season!

We want to extend a huge thank you to all who joined us and to everyone who makes BABEL possible!
